ENGINE DETAIL
The White 2-50 features a robust 3-cylinder Fiat diesel engine with a displacement of 2.6 L, providing an efficient power output at 2500 RPM, ideal for medium-duty agricultural tasks. Its oil bath air cleaner enhances engine longevity by filtering dirt and particulates more effectively than dry air cleaners, although it may require more maintenance. The high compression ratio of 17:1 can lead to improved fuel efficiency but might pose challenges in starting in colder climates without proper battery management (12V starter system).

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The White 2-50 tractor features an 8-speed or optional 12-speed transmission, providing versatility in speed selection for various agricultural tasks. The multi-speed capability can improve efficiency in field operations and transport activities by allowing the operator to optimize engine RPMs for specific workloads. However, operators may require additional training to effectively utilize the transmission’s full potential, especially with 12-speed configurations.

TRANSMISSION 1
The White 2-50 tractor features an 8-speed forward and 2-speed reverse transmission, offering versatility for various farming tasks. The multiple gear selections provide improved control over speed and torque, making it suitable for both heavy-duty applications and delicate tasks. However, operators should be aware of the mechanical complexity, which may necessitate increased maintenance and repair considerations over time.
| Gears |
8 forward and 2 reverse |
TRANSMISSION 2
The White 2-50 tractor features a 12 forward and 2 reverse gear configuration, providing versatile speed options for different field conditions. This extensive gear range allows for efficient operation in varied terrains and tasks, enhancing productivity. However, managing a higher number of gears may require more operator skill to optimize performance and reduce wear on the drive components.

MECHANICAL
The White 2-50 tractor features a versatile 4x2 configuration with optional MFWD, enhancing traction on varied terrain while the power-assisted steering provides ease of maneuverability. Its independent dry contracting band brakes offer reliable stopping power, though they may be less effective in muddy conditions compared to hydraulic systems. With an 8 or 12-speed transmission, operators can tailor performance for both low-speed tasks and higher-speed transport scenarios, making it suitable for diverse agricultural applications.

WHITE 2-50 TIRES
The White 2-50 tractor features Ag front tires sized 6.50-16 and rear tires at 14.9-28, providing a reliable balance for both traction and stability. Its relatively wide rear tire profile enhances flotation in soft soil conditions, making it ideal for tilling and plowing operations. However, the tire sizes may limit its performance in very steep or uneven terrains, necessitating careful operation in such scenarios.

DIMENSIONS
DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The White 2-50 tractor, weighing 4,100 lbs (1859 kg), features a balanced tire configuration with 6.50-16 front tires and robust 14.9-28 rear tires, enhancing stability and traction. This combination is advantageous for medium-duty tasks like tillage and planting, providing adequate ground contact while minimizing soil compaction. However, the weight-to-power ratio should be considered for optimal performance in heavier agricultural operations; inadequate horsepower may limit its effectiveness in demanding scenarios.
